On the anglo side, the only affected station is CFQR 92.5 “the Q”, which switches from Corus to Cogeco. Astral Media owns the other stations, CHOM, CJFM “Virgin Radio” and CJAD. There’s no word on any changes to management or programming or anything else at that station so far.

This whole deal needs to be reviewed by the Federal government much in the same way the current UBB decision by the CRTC is going to be reviewed. People interested in having things like this reviewed by the government need to contact their MP’s, plus the Prime Ministers office. At the very least, get a petition going like the anti-UBB crowd has done. Concentration of media is not good for the population. We need competition to keep things in check.

I totally agree with you. They didn’t want Astral to keep CKAC back in 2005 even though it was its sole French station on the AM dial for Montreal. So I don’t see why Cogeco should be allowed to keep three French stations on the FM dial.
